She is passionate about helping children navigate emotional and behavioral challenges, including tantrums, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, mood changes, and social difficulties. Songi offers child-centered play therapy and uses non-directive, developmentally appropriate interventions to create a safe and supportive space where children can express themselves, build confidence, and develop healthier coping skills. She understands that some children are naturally eager to engage through play, while others may be hesitant but curious. She makes sure to meet each child where they are, fostering connection at their own pace. She believes strongly in the power of early intervention, noting that without timely support, children’s emotional and behavioral struggles can intensify over time and impact their long-term mental health. By working collaboratively with caregivers, she aims to nurture resilience, promote emotional regulation, and lay the foundation for lifelong well-being. Songi approaches her work with curiosity, empathy, and a deep respect for each child’s unique story. Through play therapy, she gives children a voice, helping them feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603b0d65dca90b29a8a0c965/6f8e1344-9030-47e2-9136-0c407c7f8e4c/Gbemi+Adeduro.jpeg Our Team - Gbemi Adeduro Licensed Master Social Worker PACE Clinician Insurance Accepted: Pending CareFirst Self-Pay and Sliding Fee Available Gbemi (pronounced Bemy) Adeduro, LMSW, is a licensed master social worker who enjoys working with children, adolescents, and families as they navigate life’s challenges and discover new ways to heal and grow.

Organizational consulting is a professional service where the consultant serves as an unbiased expert about various aspects of business improvements. The role of an organizational consultant is to assess a particular area of organizational wellness and provide an action plan for change. Organizations may call upon a consultant to solve a specific problem, provide training, or assist with change management within the organization. In all cases, the organizational consultant will help to identify strengths within the company and uncover weaknesses that may hinder the performance of the organization. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603b0d65dca90b29a8a0c965/1615860041856-B33OOKLXPXD8BJFZ63UL/unsplash-image-wawEfYdpkag.jpg Organizational Consulting - What is Organizational Psychology?

Organizations are more than structures and strategies; they are human systems. When people feel psychologically safe, included, and valued, they’re not only more engaged, but they're also more capable of creativity, collaboration, and resilience. We partner with organizations to design cultures that intentionally support belonging and well-being, not as afterthoughts, but as essential components of performance and sustainability. Belonging is a felt sense of inclusion and value. It arises when individuals experience respect, connection, and authenticity in their workplace relationships. It’s not just about representation; it’s about meaningful participation and trust. Well-being, in an organizational context, extends beyond individual health and encompasses the overall well-being of the organization. It includes psychological safety, interpersonal climate, and the conditions that allow people to show up fully, without fear of judgment or exclusion. Drawing from evidence-based organizational psychology, we work with leaders to examine systems, highlight unspoken norms, and co-create environments where people thrive, not despite who they are, but because of who they are. When organizations invest in cultures of belonging and well-being, they see more than improved morale; they build teams with greater adaptability, deeper cohesion, and the capacity to grow through change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603b0d65dca90b29a8a0c965/1615857128465-0432QB838OTOEB9HCBB2/leon-IQY_q-RqaIo-unsplash.jpg Organizational Consulting - Organizational Belonging & Well-being - Tailored Strategies At PACE, our strategies may include organizational assessments, survey development, leadership consultation, facilitated staff discussions, and targeted workshops on workplace well-being, belonging, and intersectionality. https://www.pace-consulting.com/services/organizational-consulting/leadership-development monthly 0.5 2025-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603b0d65dca90b29a8a0c965/1615859119894-M1X1Z2KPB95A8Q7PUVLF/unsplash-image-IgUR1iX0mqM.jpg Organizational Consulting - Leadership and Team Development - Team Development For teams to be effective, team members must be able to work collaboratively with each other to produce successful outcomes.
